In the latest edition of MIBE (2013) this type is published in the Addenda section as N31. Hahn notes that two of these were offered by a well-known Munich dealer: one in a 2003 auction, the other (on fleabay!) in 2011. He also comments "the crescent seems to mark a supplementary issue as on folles of the fifth officina (N15,N16) which did not sign on the pentas."
